SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 269,040, dated December 12, 1882.

" Application filed September 9, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, ISIDOR FRENCH and l JAMES FRENCH, of the city, county, and State ot' New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Band-Bow Neckties, of which the following is a full, clear, and` exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompany ing drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the iigures.

Figure lis a perspective view of our improvement. Fig. 2 is a plan view of a part of .the same, partly in section, through the linear Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a sectional side elevation of the same, taken through the lineg/ y, Fig. 2.

Theobject of this invention is to acilitate the attachment of hand-bow neckties to collar buttons and promote security in such attachments.

The invention consists in a band-bow necktie Constructed with a bow provided with a shield recessed and slotted to receive the collar-button, and having a band-holding;` pin attached Vto it, and the separate band provided with an eye-plate at one end to receive the collar-button, and at the other end with a scale of size-marks to facilitate the adjustment of the band to the size of the collar upon which it is to be worn, as will be hereinafter fully described. l Y

A represents an ordinary bow.

B is the band, which is made separate from the bow A.

To the rear side of the bow A is secured a shield, C, which is made of metal or other suitable material, and is slightly arched to form space between it andthe bow A for the head ot' the collar button or stud.

To one end of the shield C is attached a pin, D, to enter the band B and hold it from being drawn out ot the bow A. In the other end of the shield C is formed recess to serve as a guide in applying the shield to acollar-button, and in the bottom of the said recess is formed a slot to receive the neck or stem of the collar 'button or stud, the said recess and slot being made ot' such a depth that the button or stud will be about at the center ofthe shield C.

To one end ofthe band Bis attached an eyeplate, E, ot' metal or other suitable material,

the aperture of which is made ot' such a size that the said eye can be readily passed over the head of the collar button or stud.

It' desired, the eye-plate E may be omitted and a button-hole formed in the end ot' the band B, to receive the collar-button. To the inner side of the other end ot' the band B is attached a strap, F, of leather or other suitable material, upon which is formed a scale of division-marks representing thevarious sizes ot' collars and bearing numbers correspondiin,r with the size-numbers of the said collars, or the scale can be formed directly upon the band B.

In using the improvement, the end of the band B bearing the scale Fis passed through the bow A, beneath the shield C, and the pin D is inserted in the said hand B at the point l of the scale F corresponding with the size of the collar upon which the necktie is to be worn. The-band B is then passed around the neck ot' the wearer. The eye-plate E is passed over the collarbutton, and the shield C is then passed over the said button, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. /Vith this construction, the necktie can be readily applied to the collar of the Wearerand will be held securely in place.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. Abend-bow necktie, constructed substantially as herein shown and described, and consisting of the bow provided with a recessed and slotted shield, having a band-fastening pin attached to it, and the band provided with an eye-plate at one end and a scale of sizemarks at the other, as set forth.

2. In aband-bow necktie, the separate band B, provided with a scale, F, ofsiZe-marks, substantially as herein shown and described, to facilitate the adjustment ot the said band to the size of the collar upon which it is to be Vworn, as set forth.
